3 Wang et al. Circulation 2003 HEART FAILURE AND AF AF subjects: new CHF increases mortality CHF subjects: development of AF increases mortality Preexisting CHF adversely affects survival in AF pts but preexisting AF does not affect survival in CHF pts

4 DRUGS EFFICACY AAD use in Rhythm group 82% and 73% after 12 and 36 months respectively 21% cross-over Periodic ECG monitoring Significantly less betablocker use in Rhythm group AF-CHF Study. N Engl J Med 2008;358:

5 Rhythm versus rate control SR : 47% reduction in mortality AAD : 49% increase in mortality CHF : 57% increase in mortality Current AADs are not associated with improved survival, suggesting their beneficial antiarrhythmic effects are negated by their adverse effects Circulation 2004
